I'll explain this in the simplest form I can.
Countries were made to be more pwoerful than anyone, a great governing body who is basically "the ultimate power", but long ago one day 2 countries met, and of coruse their shock was extreme, they thought they were some of the only humans, and would likely never see any outsid eof their country, which was probably more like an extremely large group of tribes.
Well hundreds o year went by, and with the invention of the language, as well as technological advances only a country could afford to produce, they attempted communication.
Eventually you have a few bigger countries(rather small compared to today) and a few larger tribes of sorts a bit behind the times.
The bigger the country, the more money, the more advanced. Back then, it wa simporving lives, and improving weapons to fight animals that may have attacked, and for guards to help cut down any problems(not always litterally)
So, if these 2 countries are within each other the absolute power, but they have a disagreement, the people leading each both get mad. The logical awnser, aggresive arguing. Well usually for kids this is rough-housing unitl one gives in, for adults one might punch another. But how does one country, a large group of cities with a thing only in people's heads in a way, slap another country? It attacks. So the art of Warfare was born. People began their Warcraft, and began fighting. So for many years peop;le suffered because war sucked everything out of the country, sicne back then taxes were made to help funding, so everyone gave their money to an endless war, hoping for an end, and everyone's lives had to sufer, farmers could nopt produce crops,a dn when they did some went to the govenrment and others were sold for lwo rpices, sicne noone could afford it, so they had litle money to produce crops with.
Nowadays countries are huge, if you are a small country, jsut stay out of things, noone will bug you. If you are a big country, ever 20-30 years someone is bound to make you mad. I'm just glad in one way and a littleā¦scared in another. One thing is a direct atttacks never really happens on towns most of the time for larger countries, it's not 2 countries with knights and one castle. On the other hand the only direct attack would be a missile, which obliterates...well everything.
Warfare is the only way countries see thing, they want to slap the other in the face, or even wipe them out, make them really hurt, which'll make them not want anything to do with a big country for a looong time. Of cours eit makes everyone mad(in the angry way).
I think if people realized that Warfare only destroys, maybe countries could start joining together like businesses buying one another, only a bit more like merging, the world would become more udnerstanding that just because the govenrment is attacking them, doesn't mean they are bad people.
